taste
A light-bodied, pleasantly brisk cup which starts with distinct tropical fruity characters, redolent of muskmelon and mandarin orange. These flavors resonate throughout the length of the cup, interrupted briefly by light vegetal undercurrents which shore up towards the middle. Subtle raw-fruity textures are discernible around the edges which gradually ebb to finish on invigorating tones of citron, making for a memorable experience of Spring chinary black teas from this fabled tea estate.
